Digital cable TV service is included in the room rate for all campus housing. To take advantage of the digital channels, a TV with a QAM tuner and a coaxial cable is needed. Most HD and digital TVs manufactured after 2006 include this tuner. To verify a QAM tuner to the TV you bring to campus, please check the TV's owner manual or manufacturer's website.
If you do not have a digital-ready TV, you will need a converter box (QAM tuner) to make it work. Locally, you can purchase the "Ematic AT103B Digital Converter Box with LED Display and Recording Capabilities" from WalMart to convert your television.
TV Set-Up and Scanning Channels
When you first hook up your television set to the campus cable system, you will need to set your TV to scan for channels. The procedure varies depending on make and model of the TV, so refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions. You may be asked to select from "Antenna" or "Broadcast" or "Cable". If this is the case, please select "Cable". General steps:![]()

- Go to "Installation" or "System" or "Channels"
- Go to "Scan Channels", "Program Channels," "Auto-scan," "Auto-program," or "Auto-tuning"

While the television scan is in process, do not press any buttons on the remote until it is complete. This may take a number of minutes. If you are having trouble, check out the troubleshooting tips under "Cable Television Issues". ![]()
